The World Bank Group released the 13th edition of the “State and Trends of Carbon Pricing 2026” report.
The report identified India as one of the world’s largest new carbon markets after the launch of the Carbon Credit Trading Scheme (CCTS) in 2026.
The report stated that carbon pricing systems now cover 29% of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
Global revenues from Emissions Trading Systems (ETS) and carbon taxes increased from less than 30 billion US dollars in 2016 to more than 107 billion US dollars in 2025.
India’s Carbon Credit Trading Scheme (CCTS) is administered by the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) under the Ministry of Power.
India’s Carbon Credit Trading Scheme replaced the Perform, Achieve and Trade (PAT) Scheme and supports India’s target of net zero emissions by 2070.
